Rolly Origin and Meaning
The name Rolly is a boy's name.
Rolly is a diminutive form that can serve as a nickname for Roland, Rolland, or Rollo. It has Germanic origins, with the root names generally meaning "famous land" or "renowned in the country." This cheerful, friendly diminutive transforms the more formal Roland into an approachable, boyish name with a light-hearted quality. Rolly has occasionally been used as a given name in its own right, particularly in English-speaking countries. The name evokes a sense of warmth and congeniality. Though not among the most common names, Rolly has an unpretentious charm and vintage appeal that some parents appreciate for its simplicity and positive associations.
